77%Cosmic Guest House

Very nice staff. Room is a bit small but worthy. Location is very near MTR, easy to go anywhere. I would recommend this hostel to my friends.

Otherwise ok, but the room was smallest ever! We were three girls and if we had stayed there any longer, we would have gone crazy... If you are any fatter, you don't probably fit in the toilet. Staff was unbelievably friendly.

Maybe it is not the cleanest and the funniest hostel but it is the best value for price if you just need a good sleep...

One of the better choices out of the "Mansions." A little more expensive than some, but at least it was clean.

Bad experience: Not helpful to get a booking confirmation letter for Hong Kong Visas and also, after warning with time (in the morning) they wanted to charge for one night, without being clear how much they keep the room for you...

The room was very clean and quite big for HK standards (which is still small according to all other standards so don't be surprised:-)) The staff was very friendly, but wireless internet is only available in the rooms close to the receptions. From the other rooms you have to go to the small computer place at the reception to access the Internet. But definitely a good stay!!close

The room and bathroom are very small, but if your just looking for a place to put your bag and rest your head it is an excellent place to be. Very close to the harbor and easy to find.

We just need a rest place at night, so didn't care how tiny the room and bathroom, as long as the room condition is clean and safe. Would recomended Mansion Maridor to friend, compare to Chungkin Mansion. You will know why I say so when you get there. The only thing not satisfied is the lift speed and waiting time. Always crowded during peak hour. Overall is really nice.close

The rooms are very clean and secure and the hostel staff are friendly and helpful. They even upgraded our room for free! Highly recommended - great value for your money (by Hong Kong standards, of course!)close

We found the room to be extremely clean when we arrived, but they did not provide any additional cleaning over the next 7 days while we were there (which was ok for us). However, the room was extremely tiny. It fit two small twin beds with an 8" gap in between, a mini fridge, long hallway, and tiny bathroom. But that is what you sacrifice for the price and location. The staff was kind but not extremely helpful (possibly because of not always understanding our somewhat complex questions). Though the building is quite run down and the elevators seem difficult to access (there is always a wait to get up to the floor), the Cosmic Guest House felt unusually safe. There was an electronic card needed to get back to your own section of rooms, and then your own individual key to get into your room. So it did feel safe within. Overall, we would recommend it if you are wanting to be close to everything and are on a budget. But it is not a place you would probably want to sit and relax in during down time.close

Like most hostels in Hong Kong, the rooms are small, but the location is excellent, right above the subway, and Tsim Sha Shui at your fingertips. The staff are nice, the rooms are pretty clean, and section that our room was in was gated. Only real complaint is that we had to pay for our wifi....

The hostel was alright. the rooms were quite small but that was what we were expecting anyway. It would have been nice to have a social area where we could meet some of the other people staying there. But it was the best shower i have ever had in my life.

When we finally got there they didn't have any chairs and they made us wait coz they had a group of guests to take to a room. They didn't provide us with towels. The elevator going to their hostel can get so crowded so waiting can be such a hassle. The room we got on the first night was extremely small. We paid more than what we got. The airconditioner didn't work at night and when it did the next day it was so noisy. On our second night we could move to a bigger room which had bigger single beds. It was nicer but we had to pay $50HK more. When we checked out they gave us some apples though. If ever you're staying at this guesthouse pls pick the biggest room they got otherwise you'll get really disappointed<EM>Click here to edit</EM>close

The building was a bit sketchy after hours for those of us who like to party. Although location was good overall, it was the epicenter of annoying hawkers. Landlady was pleasant, fun, and very helpful. I would stay here again. Price was right too!!
